Convenings

Igniting Innovation, Together

The League of Innovative Schools’ bi-annual convenings offer distinct yet connected experiences to accelerate member leadership and empower district transformation. Together, these events foster a continuous cycle of learning, collaboration, and growth for League members where they can connect with peers, share best practices, and visit schools within the network leading the way in innovation.

Fall Convening: Deep Dive into Innovation

The Fall Convening offers superintendents an exclusive, immersive opportunity to deep dive into frameworks and strategies designed to address the nuanced challenges districts face. Every other year, this convening takes the form of “League on the Hill,” where superintendents engage directly with policymakers and advocate for education priorities on Capitol Hill. In years when League on the Hill isn’t held, the convening provides a deep dive into frameworks and strategies for addressing district challenges, coupled with visits to schools that are leading innovation.

Go beyond theory.

Members immerse themselves in the cutting-edge practices of a host district through deep-dive school visits.

Co-create solutions with purpose.

Members collaborate with fellow leaders and Digital Promise in interactive workshops to tackle challenges and develop actionable plans for their districts.

Build a lifelong support network.

Members forge lasting connections with like-minded educators ready to share knowledge and support their journey throughout the year.

Spring Convening: Connect, Collaborate, Elevate Innovation

The Spring Convening invites superintendents and up to two district leaders from each district to join a broader gathering focused on sharing, learning, and connecting with the entire education ecosystem. This expanded platform amplifies members’ impact and propels their transformation forward. School visits showcase successful practices in action, sparking new ideas and driving further innovation across districts.

Amplify district impact.

Members share their successes and learn from diverse perspectives as the entire network convenes with Digital Promise partners and leading minds in education.

Discover the future of education.

Members gain insights from researchers, edtech developers, and fellow League members, exploring cutting-edge advancements and innovative approaches.

Fuel transformation.

Through school visits, members translate inspiration into action and leave with practical strategies, resources, and renewed energy to implement lasting change in their schools.
